Tunku Abdul Rahman Park - Manukan Island
(51
acres)

Manukan was the site
of an old stone quarry before WWII and the remains of the old manager's
house and some old graves can still be seen. It is now the site
of the Park Headquarters. They were moved form Camp Bay on Gaya Island a few
years ago.
Manukan Island is the island with the most complete
facilities: tropical timber chalets, restaurants, swimming pool,
tennis court and a marine exhibition centre. Snorkelling equipment hire and water sports,
as well as daily beach BBQ's are also available.
Manukan Island is the
most visited island in the TAR Park, and it is popular with locals and
foreign visitors alike. One of the star attractions and must see on
Manukan Island is the fish feeding at the jetty where large school of fishes
have made their home. You can even snorkel and dive amongst the fish here! There is a 1.5 km paved trail right to the tip of the
island. You pass through tropical forest and enjoy a different
view of Kota Kinabalu City!
